Josh Jackson to come off the Suns' bench Friday night

Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson is not starting on Friday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

Jackson was fined by the team earlier in the day for missing an autograph session, so the benching could be another facet of his punishment. No word on if his minutes will be limited Friday. Dragan Bender is getting the start in his place.

Our models had Jackson projected for 25.8 Fanduel points in 25.6 minutes before the lineup switch was announced.
